Description
2008 Retailer's Choice Award winner!
Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach—especially a football coach—to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, now updated with a new chapter, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family—and challenges us all to redefine our ideas of what it means to succeed.
The softcover edition of this #1 New York Times best-seller includes a new chapter! In it, Coach reflects on the 2007 football season and last year's successful hardcover release of Quiet Strength. Also features a foreword by Denzel Washington and a 16-page color-photo insert. Over 1 million in print!

I can be me
5By Mills919After reading this book I realize that I can be myself. I don't have to scream and yell. I don't have to be anyone else. Me being me is enough. Great book.Quiet Strength

4By MKWickThis was a birthday gift that I was excited to receive, and a book that my wife actually finished before me. Although Megan and I have some different reading tastes, we both found this book very enjoyable. Dungy's #1 New York Times bestseller comes off his 2007 Super Bowl victory and reveals the secrets to his success. You don't have to be a fan of the Indianapolis Colts or even American football to get into this book. Dungy gets authentic by sharing personal and professional difficulties and how he was able to overcome them. Although you can't tell by the cover, once you start reading this book, you find out it has a deep and powerful message. Dungy's message is God's message. Our purpose in life is simply to glorify God and help people see the path to eternal life through Christ. It is so cool that Coach Dungy is using the platform God has given him in a way that points us in the right direction.Quiet strength
